Swift is capable of doing it already dosent need anything but as Ada chief said if air force wants it Swift will be ready for induction if not then well that's there wish
Ok.but I do not think Swift has internal weapons bay. in its current form it can used as UAV, not ucav.

I think they already tested internal bay machanism for 5th gen separately for amca and others (was done or supposed to be done by some private company) so if it's done it shouldn't be a big deal to integrate into Swift just depends if airforce wants it or not Garuda is already doing that with there drone so I think Swift will be better

A junk carrier with emals tech from an undergraduate thesis, hastily put together by retired American engineers, takes half a day to start thanks to it's steam turbines, it's component deliveries keep getting sabotaged or destroyed, the immature tech causing casualties during testing, arrestor cable failure, emals failure, subpar steel, frequent flooding issues, subpar leaky welding issues shared with the Shandong and overall low confidence in it's capabilities causing endless delays for this white elephant.

The carrier drone is a six rotor design.
Nice, seems to be an advanced military grade FPV drone. Hope they can work in swarms with just one pilot controlling the swarm through a master drone if needed in semi auto mode. Lets see if they develop a miniaturized and cheaper version to be portable, deployed and operated by a single soldier at squad level. Would be great against tangos in defensive positions.

Brahmos ER costs freaking $5 million per piece! Russia is milking this project like hell. DRDO must induct Rudram class of missiles sooner.
Considering a single Meteor costs around 3 mils, I'd say it's a fair price.
